Cylinder over Fairforest, SC
Resolved to a known cause by an investigating body, with the identification on the record.
The report, as filed
Photos and video were captured on Sunday April 2, 2023. Location Fairforest, SC, around 30 4:30 pm. There were two cylindrical white objects traveling (NNW) together but staggered. I was only able to capture the one in the back. They were perhaps 4,000 feet high and traveling at a fairly slow speed. They were absolutely quiet, had no visible means of propulsion, no vapor trails or contrails, and no visible wings. I was commenting while videoing and my sister witnessed them too.

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
